<p style="letter-spacing:-.1pt;margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:12.0pt;">AUSTIN, TEXAS August 21, 2007 &#151; Mesa Royalty
Trust (NYSE symbol-MTR) announced the Trust income distribution for the month
of August 2007. Unitholders of record on August 31, 2007 will receive
distributions amounting to $1,103,042 or $0.591891180 per unit payable on
October 31, 2007. The Trust received $550,319 and $79,281 from the New Mexico
and Colorado portions of the San Juan Basin Properties, respectively. Royalty
income from the Hugoton Properties totaled $472,079.</font></p>

<p style="font-size:12.0pt;letter-spacing:-.1pt;margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:12.0pt;">As previously announced, </font><font face="Times New Roman">Pioneer Natural
Resources USA, Inc. </font><font face="Times New Roman">(&#147;Pioneer USA&#148;) reached an
agreement to settle claims made in the lawsuit <i>John Steven Alford and Robert Larrabee, individually
and on behalf of a Plaintiff Class v. Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc</i>.&#160; The plaintiffs in the lawsuit are royalty
owners in oil and gas properties located in the Hugoton field, which are owned
by Pioneer USA, a subsidiary of Pioneer Natural Resources Company (&#147;Pioneer&#148;).&#160; The plaintiffs sued a predecessor company to
Pioneer USA asserting various claims relating to alleged improper deductions in
the calculation of royalties. Under the
terms of the agreement, Pioneer USA has made and will make cash payments to
settle the plaintiffs&#146; claims with respect to production occurring on and
before December 31, 2005.&#160; Pioneer USA
also agreed to adjust the manner in which royalty payments to the class members
will be calculated for production occurring on and after January 1, 2006.</font></p>

<p style="letter-spacing:-.1pt;margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:12.0pt;letter-spacing:-.15pt;">The extent of future
distributions from the properties in which the Trust has an interest will
continue to be dependent on normal factors associated with oil and gas
operations such as oil and gas production levels, prices and associated cost,
accruals for future abandonment costs, timing and extent of capital
expenditures, as well as a recoupment, by Pioneer USA, of approximately $0.9
million payable on September 30, 2007 in connection with certain litigation.</font></p>
